I have a pack of 100 electronic device wipes in my drawer that the office folks regularly come to me for. It very much feels like this snack drawer situation haha 😂

If you’ve ever wanted to set up AI agents for yourself but it felt too technical or daunting, come join this webinar where Steph Rohweder will teach me how to use OpenClaw to set up AI agents from scratch. 🤖

I’ll be learning alongside you since I have absolutely zero experience with it.

1 Tech Tip

Flip your phone for DND (Android)

I use to use an Android phone for years and I wanted to highlight one feature I miss dearly that I hope Apple brings to their phones natively.

It’s one where when you place your phone face down, it will automatically go into Do Not Disturb (or at least silences itself).

Google Pixel: Flip to Shhh (true Do Not Disturb)

  • Settings → Digital Wellbeing & parental controls → Flip to Shhh → On

  • Now when you place your Pixel face down, it automatically turns on DND.

Motorola: Flip for DND (true Do Not Disturb)

  • Settings → Sound (or Sound & vibration) → Flip for DND → On

  • (Depending on model, it may live in the Moto app under Gestures/Moto Actions.)

Samsung Galaxy (and many others): flip to mute

  • Samsung usually has a “flip to mute” gesture. It’s not full DND, but it will silence incoming calls/alerts.

  • Settings → Advanced features → Motions and gestures → Mute with gestures

Hope you find this helpful at meetings and dinner tables!

For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here (doing my best to update once a month).

Thank you for reading!

Thanks to everyone who joined our party last Thursday, and I hope you had a wonderful Admin Day.
